BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to an imaging lens assembly and a cameramodule. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to an imaginglens assembly and a camera module applied to portable electronicdevices.

Description of Related Art

For lens assemblies applied to portable electronic devices, in additionto the lens elements for image formation, the lens assemblies furtherinclude optical elements, such as light blocking sheets, spacers andfixing rings, for maintaining a proper optical distance between lenselements or for positioning all of the lens elements within a plasticbarrel thereto. However, because of the size relation between the lenselements and the optical elements, it is easy to damage the lenselements and optical elements indirectly by the compression forceapplied externally during the assembling process of the lens assemblies,so that the lens elements and optical elements cannot recover to theconditions before being forced.

For example, FIG. 8A is a schematic view of a conventional imaging lensassembly 80, FIG. 8B is a schematic view of a light blocking sheet 81 ofthe imaging lens assembly 80 of FIG. 8A, and FIG. 8C is a schematic viewof a spacer 82 of the imaging lens assembly 80 of FIG. 8A. As shown inFIG. 8A, after the optical elements are sequentially arranged in abarrel 89 of the imaging lens assembly 80, a fixing ring 83 is disposedon an image side of the imaging lens assembly 80, and then a compressionforce is applied to the fixing ring 83 at a position indicated by anarrow A. Since an opening of the fixing ring 83 is larger than the outerdiameters of other optical elements, the forcing points of other opticalelements are closer to an outer diameter surface in a peripheral regionthereof, which is indicated by an arrow B. As shown in FIG. 8B, astressing line 811 is generated after the light blocking sheet 81 beingforced, and it is indicated that the light blocking sheet 81 is damagedand cannot recover to the condition before being forced. As shown inFIG. 8C, a flexure 821 is generated after the spacer 82 being forced,and it damages not only the flexure 821 itself but also affects otheradjacent optical elements to have problems of flexural deformation so asto affect a shape of an optical effective portion thereof, so that theimaging quality of the of the imaging lens assembly 80 will bedecreased. Because the spacer 82 is generally made of a PC materialwhich has a hardness being soft (compared to the pencil hardness), it isunrecoverable after flexure formation of the spacer 82. Furthermore, ifthe material of the spacer 82 is replaced with a harder material, themanufacturing cost is too high, and the spacer 82 is difficult to formduring the injection molding process.

Therefore, in conventional imaging lens assemblies, the size problem ofthe optical elements will directly decrease the manufacturing efficiencyand affect the imaging quality, so that it has become an important issueneeds to be resolved eagerly in the relative field.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

An imaging lens assembly includes a plastic barrel and an imaging lensset, wherein the imaging lens set is disposed in the plastic barrel andhas an optical axis, and the imaging lens set includes a plurality ofoptical elements.

In detail, the plastic barrel includes an object-side aperture and afirst annular surface, wherein the first annular surface is formed inthe plastic barrel and surrounds the object-side aperture. Inparticular, “the first annular surface surrounds the object-sideaperture” means that the first annular surface surrounds the object-sideaperture while looking from an image side of the plastic barrel towardthe object-side aperture on an object side thereof, that is, the firstannular surface is disposed on an inner surface of the plastic barrel.

At least one of the optical elements of the imaging lens set is aplastic lens element. The plastic lens element has an object-sidesurface and an image-side surface, and includes an effective opticalportion, a peripheral portion, a second annular surface and anobject-side connecting surface. The peripheral portion is formed aroundthe effective optical portion. The second annular surface is formed onthe object-side surface of the plastic lens element and surrounds theeffective optical portion. The object-side connecting surface is formedon the object-side surface of the plastic lens element and surrounds theeffective optical portion, and the object-side connecting surface isconnected with one of the optical elements disposed on the object sideof the plastic lens element. The second annular surface and theobject-side connecting surface are both disposed on the peripheralportion, and the object-side connecting surface is closer to theeffective optical portion than the second annular surface thereto. Thefirst annular surface and the second annular surface are parallel toeach other, both of the first annular surface and the second annularsurface are perpendicular to the optical axis, and there is withoutadditional one or more optical elements inserted between the firstannular surface and the second annular surface. The object-sideconnecting surface is disposed on an object side of the first annularsurface, when a distance parallel to the optical axis between theobject-side connecting surface and the first annular surface is AT1 (thefirst annular surface is defined as a reference surface, and a distanceparallel to the optical axis between the object-side connecting surfacedisposed on an object side of the reference surface and the referencesurface is a negative value), the following condition is satisfied:−0.40 mm<AT1<0 mm. Therefore, the appearance of the plastic lens elementcan be more stereoscopic, which is different from conventional lenselements with flatter appearance, and the supporting intensity of theplastic lens element itself can be reinforced. Moreover, the compressionforce applied during the assembling process of the imaging lens assemblycan be moderated by the arrangement of the first annular surface and thesecond annular surface so as to reduce the flexural level of the plasticlens element effectively.

An air space can be disposed between the first annular surface and thesecond annular surface. Therefore, the increasing of the assemblingtolerance of the imaging lens assembly resulted from the first annularsurface leaning on the plastic lens element can be avoided.

When a length of the air space between the first annular surface and thesecond annular surface is d, the following condition can be satisfied:0.001 mm<d<0.08 mm. Therefore, a smaller space between the plastic lenselement and the plastic barrel can be obtained, so that the firstannular surface can provide a supporting force to the plastic lenselement immediately before the plastic lens element is over-bending soas to protect the plastic lens element.

The plastic lens element can further include an image-side connectingsurface, and the image-side connecting surface is formed on animage-side surface of the plastic lens element and surrounds theeffective optical portion, that is, the image-side connecting surface isdisposed on the peripheral portion. The image-side connecting surface isconnected with another of the optical elements disposed on the imageside of the plastic lens element. When the distance parallel to theoptical axis between the object-side connecting surface and the firstannular surface is AT1, and a distance parallel to the optical axisbetween the image-side connecting surface and the first annular surfaceis AT2 (the first annular surface is defined as the reference surface,and a distance parallel to the optical axis between the image-sideconnecting surface disposed on an image side of the reference surfaceand the reference surface is a positive value), the following conditioncan be satisfied: −0.60<AT1/AT2<0.0. Therefore, the appearance of theplastic lens element can be maintained, and a large height differencebetween the object-side connecting surface and the image-side connectingsurface can be prevented so as to reduce the manufacturing difficulty.

Furthermore, when the distance parallel to the optical axis between theobject-side connecting surface and the first annular surface is AT1, andthe distance parallel to the optical axis between the image-sideconnecting surface and the first annular surface is AT2, the followingcondition can be satisfied: 2×|AT1|<AT2. Therefore, the structuralintensity of the plastic lens element can be increased.

The object-side connecting surface and the image-side connecting surfacecan be parallel to each other, and both of the object-side connectingsurface and the image-side connecting surface can be perpendicular tothe optical axis. Therefore, a proper assembling position for otheroptical elements can be provided.

A mucilage material can be applied between the first annular surface andthe second annular surface. Therefore, a material which can absorb thecompression force can be provided so as to prevent the first annularsurface from deformation by force.

At least one of the first annular surface and the second annular surfacecan be an annular stepped surface arranged along a directionperpendicular to the optical axis. Therefore, the moderating efficiencycan be further enhanced by the disposition of the annular steppedsurface. Furthermore, in addition to the disposition of the annularstepped surface, a mucilage material can be further applied between thefirst annular surface and the second annular surface. Because an appliedrange of the mucilage material can be effectively restricted by theannular stepped surface so as to avoid overflowing of the mucilagematerial, it is favorable for avoiding contaminating of the object-sideconnecting surface of the plastic lens element by the mucilage material,and therefore the assembling accuracy of the imaging lens assembly canbe maintained.

When a central thickness of the plastic lens element is CT, and thedistance parallel to the optical axis between the image-side connectingsurface and the first annular surface is AT2, the following conditioncan be satisfied: 0.4<AT2/CT<2.0. Therefore, the thickness of theplastic lens element can be well-distributed, and it is favorable foravoiding the thickness of partial region of the plastic lens elementbeing too thin and then affecting the fluency of the injection molding.More preferably, the following condition can be satisfied:0.5<AT2/CT<1.6. Therefore, the flexural level of the plastic lenselement can be further well-distributed so as to prevent the thinnestregion of the plastic lens element from over bending.

When a length of the first annular surface perpendicular to the opticalaxis is S1, and a length of the second annular surface perpendicular tothe optical axis is S2, the following condition can be satisfied:70%<(S1/S2)×100%<200%. Therefore, a corresponding region of the firstannular surface and the second annular surface is larger, and it isfavorable for preventing the partial thickness of the plastic barrelfrom being too thick and increasing the size of the plastic barrel.

Each of the aforementioned features of the imaging lens assembly of thepresent disclosure can be utilized in numerous combinations, so as toachieve the corresponding functionality.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, a camera moduleincludes the imaging lens assembly according to the aforementionedaspect. In the camera module, the object-side aperture of the imaginglens assembly can be an aperture stop of the imaging lens set.Therefore, enough entry light of the camera module can be assured by thedisposition of a front aperture stop, so that the demands for largeaperture stop can be satisfied.

In the imaging lens set of the camera module, when a number of theplastic lens elements is N, a number of the plastic lens element havingan outer diameter ψN1i is N1, and a number of the plastic lens elementhaving an outer diameter ψN2j is N2, the following conditions aresatisfied: 5≤N<10; N=N1+N2; 2.8 mm<ψN1i<3.8 mm, wherein i=1, 2, 3 . . .N−1; and 4.7 mm<ψN2j<7.0 mm, wherein j=1, 2 . . . N−N1. Therefore, theouter diameter of a lens elements group having the number N1 of theimaging lens set and the outer diameter of a lens elements group havingthe number N2 of the imaging lens set can be significantly demarcatedfrom each other, and each of the lens elements groups has a specificrange, so that enlarging of the outer diameter of the lens elementsgroup having the number N1 in order to accommodate to a lens elementsgroup having larger outer diameters can be avoided. It is favorable fordesigning a proper first annular surface and a second annular surface ofthe plastic barrel and the plastic lens element so as to reduce thespace waste and the size of the camera module.

According to another aspect of the present disclosure, an electronicdevice includes the camera module according to the aforementioned aspectand an image sensor, wherein the image sensor is disposed on an imagesurface of the camera module. Therefore, it is favorable for enhancingthe manufacturing efficiency of the electronic device, and the demandfor compact size of the electronic device can be achieved.

According to the above descriptions, the specific embodiments andreference drawings thereof are given below so as to describe the presentdisclosure in detail.
